ok, so if you want to find the vloume of an irregular shaped object, you put it in a liquid substance and see how much the liquid rises, right? (ex you fill a beeker with H20 to 8mL and you drop a rock in it and it rises to 11mL, that means the volume of the rock is 2mg squared) well say i wanted to see how much volume my teddy bear takes up, i put it in water but it ABSOARBS water... how would i find the volume???
and i am just curious, i dont want to find the volume of a teddy bear.

dip the teddy bear in water if there is any increase in the volume measure it. now , take the teddy bear out of the water, and measure the decrease in the volume of the water..add both the volumes to get the total volume of the teddy bear.

In fact, the volume of the object has not to do, entirely, with the question. The question involves density, which is the relationship between mass AND volume. A body with density equals, say, Y, will displace an amount of water corresponding to m(water)/v(water) = Y. This means that an iron nail should displace more water from a container than a paperclip of the same volume. Weird, isn’t it? An approximate answer to your quest could be to wet your teddy first, weigh it out, and then trough it in the vat. Weigh out the water which had been displaced, and calculate Dteddy = Mteddy/Vwater (Vwater would be uncertain, but approximate). Vtedy would come out from Mteddy/Dteddy. Try out!

Cover you teddy in black latex and spikey heels. Make sure to put a zipper over her mouth and give her a whip. Then dunk her in a bathtub of whipped cream and measure the cream that is pushed out of the bathtub. That should do the trick. Now lick teddy's boots you maggot!

Wrap it in a waterproof covering that fits it perfectly, force it under water with a wire and measure difference...........
ps- squaring a milligram is not reccomended........ the volume of the rock would be 3 cc's

You could try using a big beaker full of sand instead of water. Water is useful because it's incompressible - small enough sand is good for that too.

Wrap your teddy bear in saran-wrap (That sounds kinky âº) and go from there.
